Description

Most of us work in or manage teams, but are we really getting the most out of the numerous benefits of effective teamwork? All too often there are roadblocks – ranging from a lack of engagement to clashing personalities – that are holding us back from achieving the results we need.

Leading Teams shows team leaders how to overcome the most common obstacles to team performance and drive outstanding results from their people.

Strong teamwork equals:

Better outcomes

Greater efficiency

Better ideas

Mutual support

A greater sense of accomplishment

Leading Teams is built on the authors’ experience of coaching 1,000+ team leaders in over 15 global corporations for the last 15 years, during which they discovered the 10 main issues holding teams back. Each challenge includes a common scenario and step-by-step solutions/behaviours to counter each one. There's also a framework for how to lead a team-enhancement workshop, plus supporting plans and templates on their website (www.10teamchallenges.com).
